Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in Bylakuppe is holding the annual Yarne retreat until the 5th September. Yarne is the 6-week annual summer rains retreat, observed by most monasteries. It is primarily for getsuls and gelongs. There are vows at the beginning and the releasing of vows at the end. Some of these vows include not leaving the monastery property (observed by all monks), AM and PM pujas daily, all meals taken in the temple, no meat or eggs, no food after 12 noon (except for health reasons), Sojong (confession) twice a month and mid-way through, and increased time for study and practice.
Beginning soon, they will also hold the annual Vajrayogini Drupchen. Your sponsorship is welcome.
